Elucidating Law has many virtues, but the most attractive is its inclusiveness. Dickson is an optimist about the prospects of legal philosophy.
Julie Dickson is Professor of Legal Philosophy in the Faculty of Law, University of Oxford, and Fellow and Tutor in Law at Somerville College, Oxford. After completing an undergraduate law degree at the University of Glasgow in her native Scotland, and a D. Phil in Philosophy of Law at Balliol College, Oxford, she held lectureships at the University of Leicester and University College London before taking up her current post. Professor Dickson works mainly in general jurisprudence or philosophy of law, and especially on methodological issues such as the criteria of success of legal philosophy.
